Chapter 127 Domestic Rift
To make matters worse, the news that Isaac had signed off on a public campus assembly apology threw him into an absolute rage.
“What the hell are you playing at?
“Do you even consider yourself a Powell?
“Where is our family pride supposed to stand after this?”
His voice boomed through the high ceilings.
Isaac shot back without backing down an inch.
“The family, the business-that’s the only metric you ever track.
“Did you spend a single second looking out for Isabella?
“Do you have any actual clue as to what Hannah pulled on campus?
“She actively marched up to Noah to claim Isabella was exploiting the Wayne name as a stepping stone to leech off the Carters.
“Do you realize the sheer corporate devastation we would face if that lie stuck?
“You don’t care about Isabella at all, you only care about protecting your precious brand.
“Hannah triggered a massive, systemic crisis; am I supposed to just gloss over it instead of demanding a public apology?
“What was your brilliant solution then?”
Isaac’s expression turned deeply cynical as he sneered, “Force Isabella to grovel to Noah? Beg him to give Hannah a pass?
“Or perhaps expect Isabella to leverage her minor tutoring connection to beg Ethan Wayne to drop the hammer?
“Lest you forget, Noah doesn’t run the Wayne empire.
“The absolute ruler of that dynasty is Ethan Wayne.
“What exactly do you view Isabella as, a convenient shield?
“Do you have any clue about the absolute hell she went through under our roof?
“Do you know how much absolute respect she receives the second she steps into the Wayne compound?
“How can you possibly have the nerve to demand she clean up this mess?”
Isaac roared out the words, his throat raw.
He understood Adrian’s cutthroat mindset inside out, which was the exact reason he refused to give an inch of ground.
If he hadn’t locked down the campus assembly apology right in front of Ethan Wayne, he knew for a fact that the moment they got home, Adrian would have cortiered Isabella, forcing her to swallow the insult
Exactly like the way he forced her to drop the criminal charges against the Bexleys earlier.
Following that, he would have demanded Isabella play the victim card to clear Hannah’s record with Noah.
He would have corporate-squeezed her minor connection with the Wayne heir, using her status as the target to call off their legal team.
That way, the corporate name remains pristine, and everyone walk away happy.
But by what absolute right?
Why should Isabella be forced to carry the fallback for their dynamic?
She didn’t do a single d*mn thing wrong.
